PHOTO GALLERY: The Business of Black Haircare

In 1910, Sarah â€œMadame C. J.â€ Walker is featured in the Guinness Book of World Records as the first African American female self-made millionaire through the creation of a range of haircare products targeted to the African American community. Once asked about her secret of her success, Walker responded: â€œThere is no royal flower-strewn path to successâ€¦If I have accomplished anything in life, it is because I have been willing to work hard.â€ (Image: Madam C.J.
